I have the same issue so I hope you find a solution and share it, but for me it's not a major problem.Wondering if anyone has experience with using / trying a high quality attenuator to live between the Convert 2 outs and the monitor amp ?
Been considering a Goldpoint SA1X or 2X as I've had trouble with other "monitor controllers" being able to "deal with" reproducing the full 18dbu of the Convert.
That, and although I've never been able to find an attenuator to live between the Converts outs and monitor amp that doesn't compromise, or subjugate the Converts Full bodied extension (& full 18dbu output) ...
I'm also painfully aware that there was "a real clarity gained" when I used for example, the 2400 audio controller.
Shame there was such a db and body loss with that one.
ie; Still hunting for a reasonably priced and most important, compatible solution.
My main issue is the Convert (at very low monitor levels) does become troublesome with clear L/R staging imbalance.
My bigger issue is that my unit, and I imagine all of them, is for all listening levels much more resolving and thus more enjoyable with its output trim bypassed. So when I listen to Tidal and iTunes I control the volume by using the respective screen sliders on these apps - it's very finicky because they must be set near to mute otherwise it would be dangerously loud
My goal is to find a better way to attenuate upstream from the Convert 2. Any ideas welcome!
(BTW after having both the Convert and the Solaris for 11 months I ended up only playing the latter when I was half asleep when easy listening type sound was appropriate. When fully alert I found it sounded wretchedly distorted and unresolving compared to the Convert. It sold on eBAY for my asking price within an hour of posting, maybe partly because of the nonsense posted about it on Gearslutz.)
